2000: Gladiator Impossible

We enter a new century by jumping back to an old trend and an adaptation of an old TV show, seems about right for 21st century Hollywood. First, the Oscar goes to Ridley Scott's Gladiator, a return to old-school sword and sandal action, only without the Jesus angle. Historical accuracy is nowhere to be found, the plot doesn't merit a lot of deep thought, but Erin, Claire, and Dan answer the important question: are they, in fact, entertained? And then Dan gets a special treat: one and only one (unless the Academy makes wild choices in 2026) chance to talk about the oeuvre of one Ethan Hunt in Mission: Impossible 2, and boy if you thought the LAST one was goofy... The action is as intense as the plots are thin, join us to unpack both!
